I know the medusa is a 2000Kv motor compared to the 1515 1Y 2200Kv on the kyosho so there is a very noticeable difference between the two. I'll be swapping motors in a few weeks and do another comparison run. Bottom line, I like the Neu better.

Kyosho ST RR:
RTR with 5S 6000mah Polyquest lipos, TeknoRC Neu 1515 1Y, CF MTR on LPR dish wheels.
10.23 lbs = 4.65 kgs

I still have to weigh the revo.

Edit:
Here are my temps on the Kyosho:
ST-RR
50/15, 5S

ESC – 104
Motor – 131
Batteries – 100


ST-RR
50/16, 5S

ESC – 112
Motor – 170
Batteries – 104


I'll run a 46/16 spur/pinion next time.

I will be awaiting your findings....I also considered putting a Neu 1515 in it, but I really didn't want to drop another $240+- on another motor...I own 2 other Neu motors, a 1509 3300kv for my crt.5 and a 1512 1.5YF for my Mugen buggy and love them both. As w/ many these days, money is a lot tighter and if I can save almost a $100- on a motor, I have to consider it unless the Neu is that much better that it is really worth the difference.
